The head transplant juggernaut rolls on. Last year, maverick surgeon Sergio Canavero caused a worldwide storm when he revealed his plan to attempt a human head transplant to New Scientist. He claimed that the surgical protocol would be ready within two years and said he intended to offer the surgery as a treatment for complete paralysis.

Now, working with other scientists in China and South Korea, he claims to have moved closer to that goal with a series of experiments in animals and human cadavers.

he could put your head on a boomer.

Should more accurately be described as a body transplant surely?

I'm pretty sure more than one film has been made about this kind of thing - it never turns out well.

I was thinking more "The Amazing Two-Headed Transplant" with Bruce Dern, but I guess that horrible movie you just referenced counts...eeek.

AtW's experiments were a success....

Ethically I'm troubled by the whole business of removing ones head for another body, regardless if the surgery can be overcome.

Our nervous system makes us who we are. You've all heard the stories of those that have had heart transplants and learn a new skill or trade following surgery that was a trait that belonged to the donor? The idea being tissue surrounding the heart is similar to that of the brain.

Yup. 90 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

Possibly the worst film I've ever seen.

Not even scary. Just tulipe
